Plastic surgery is a surgical specialty involving the restoration, reconstruction, or alteration of the
human body. Plastic surgery for cosmetic reasons is an optional or elective surgery that is
performed on normal parts of the body with the only purpose of improving a persons appearance
and/or removing signs of aging. In 2014, nearly 16 million cosmetic procedures were performed in
the United States alone. The number of cosmetic procedures performed in the United States has
almost doubled since the start of the century. 92% of cosmetic procedures were performed on
women in 2014, up from 88% in 2001. Nearly 12 million cosmetic procedures were performed in
2007, with the five most common surgeries being breast augmentation, liposuction, breast
reduction, eyelid surgery and abdominoplasty. The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery

surgical, such as rhinoplasty or facelift. The nonsurgical procedures include Botox and laser hair
removal. In 2010, their survey revealed that there were 9,336,814 total procedures in the United
States. Of those, 1,622,290 procedures were surgical . They also found that a large majority, 81%,
of the procedures were done on Caucasian people.The increased use of cosmetic procedures
crosses racial and ethnic lines in the U.S., with increases seen among African-Americans, Asian
Americans and Hispanic Americans as well as Caucasian Americans. In Europe, the second largest
market for cosmetic procedures, cosmetic surgery is a $2.2 billion business. In Asia, cosmetic
surgery has become more popular, and countries such as China and India have become Asia's
biggest cosmetic surgery markets
